If ever there was a fitting show title, this is it. Leave it to Geoff to throw down that gem of a line. We cover pretty much everything in this show, as every sport was showcased in some way this week. We got down to the quarterfinals in World Cup, with some shocking endings. The BC Lions laid an egg in Edmonton - was it a one off or a sign of things to come? In case you haven't noticed, the fourth best team in baseball is in Seattle. Is it time to start getting excited about the Mariners? Did you know Wimbledon started?

Of course what everyone really cares about the start of free agency in the NHL. We dissect the pros and cons of the Canucks signings, and how it may impact the prospects roster chances. We also admit how wrong we were with the John Tavares decision. Does this make the Leafs a serious contender? (Spoiler alert: no) We even talk a little NBA with the LeBron James move, including our already cemented prediction for league champions in 2019. All this plus our best and worst in Garbage Time!

They say all good things must come to an end, but we're still going strong! Sadly the same can't be said for the Vancouver Giants, whose magical run through the playoffs came to an end with an overtime loss in Game 7 of the WHL Championship. Will this run reinvigorate the junior hockey fan base here in the long term? We discuss the NBA playoffs ...…

With the sudden and unexpected passing of Jason Botchford, we pay our respects. We may not have always agreed on a professional level, but life is bigger than sports, and it's a sad reality. Our thoughts go out to his family. We do manage to discuss some sports, including a recap of Geoff's experience in Seattle watching the Mariners and Cubs. ...…

If playoff season has somehow left you disappointed, here is just the pick me up: another episode of Just A Bit Outside! Back by unpopular demand, we discuss the opening round of the NBA playoffs. Were there any surprises? Does anyone care? We also recap the NFL draft, including the dealings of the Seahawks, and what their team may look like th ...…

As the first round of the NHL playoffs comes to a close, here's something else you wish would never end, another episode of Just A Bit Outside! We start off by feting one of the greatest athletes Canada has every produced. Brooke Henderson has an impressive resume, but is her most notable achievement yet to come?

Was it the best Masters ever? Probably not, but memorable and exciting all the same. Who would've Tiger still had a major in him? We review the happenings from Augusta, including if Tiger won, or did the other guys lose... We talk about the Seahawks going all in on Russell Wilson and what it means for the roster going forward. Speaking of Seatt ...…

Hello friends, it's that magical time of year where we look forward to our favourite golf tournament - The Masters. Where the azaleas bloom and the roars are loud and nuts like us know the names of each hole. Will Tiger finally win another major, or will there be a first time champion again? We also have a look around baseball, as the Mariners ...…

It's our NHL Draft Lottery show - live! (sort of). We watch the draft lottery and give our reactions, as well as review the 2018-2019 Canucks season, including potential moves and the development of the franchise. How successful was the season?

Did you miss us? Brendan has recovered from a smorgasbord of infections, which means we're back to infect the masses with more Just A Bit Outside! We start this week with a Vancouver hockey club in the playoffs, the Giants. Fresh off their first round series win over Seattle, we look forward to round two against top rival Victoria, We also salu ...…

You know you've made it as a star when you get featured on Just A Bit Outside, and we welcome Bianca Andreescu to the top of the sports pantheon. Is her win at Indian Wells the biggest ever for a Canadian tennis player? Most assuredly yes, and the long term impact is yet to be seen. The Mariners have also kicked off their regular season in Japa ...…

What do you associate with the colour brown? The UPS guy? Cardboard? Another episode of Just A Bit Outside? Maybe it's the Cleveland Browns, who continue to make a massive splash this NFL off-season, pulling off a big trade after some big signings. Are the Browns for real, or will their season be another form of brown? We have a look at some of ...…

Lots of loss and sadness in the world this week, but here's just the thing to pick up your spirits - another episode of Just A Bit Outside! We start with a goodbye to a couple athletes we lost, as well as a salute to Travis Lulay for his retirement, and wondering what could have been. We even talk a little baseball, as the biggest free agent do ...…

Hoisted by his own petard, Geoff apologizes this week for falling into the media trap, even if it was by accident. Beyond eating his own words, there is really only one thing to talk about on this episode, and that's the fallout from the NHL trade deadline. The Canucks made two deals, impacting both the now and the future. Are they working up t ...…

After a brief weather related hiatus, we're back with a vengeance (and not just aimed towards a certain Edmonton sports franchise)! We kick off this week with a look at how the BC Lions did in CFL free agency. They made a big splash, but it is enough to push the team to championship contention? More importantly, is it enough to make people care ...…

If you were disappointed by the SuperBowl, then we have the cure for what ails you - Brendan being kicked out of the country for never having tried poutine. If that isn't enough to cheer you up, it's also another episode of Just A Bit Outside! We look back at one of the least memorable SuperBowls ever, and the halftime "show" didn't help. Was i ...…

Ever wonder if you've found your true calling in life? Kevin Bieksa doesn't have to wonder, not after he found his doing hockey commentary. If you're still searching for yours, search while listening to the premier Vancouver sports podcast! It's SuperBowl preview time, as we look forward to the Rams and Patriots. Will Brady and Belichick win a ...…

If you need a lawyer, you call in the best. We miss you Johnnie Cochran, as the NFL needs you to defend it against a Louisiana lawsuit to restart the NFC Championship Game. Why is there a lawsuit you ask? Because of poor officiating? Fans taking things too far? A half wit lawyer trying to make a name for themselves? You can decide. We start thi ...…

Did you miss us? Geoff returns from his month long odyssey, and it's time we catch up on the wide world of sports. We're down to the final four of the NFL season, and we review the playoffs thus far, plus an end of year look at the Seahawks. Did they overachieve, or is this team better than most people gave credit for? We make our NFC and AFC c ...…

Whom does the bell ding for? Athletes who assault people? Corrupt organizations? An early 90's TV show reference? Maybe all of the above. We start this week with the Kareem Hunt saga, casting a wider look on the failures that lead to such actions. Is there one cause, or are we all to blame? Hockey talk leads Brendan to rant against the lack of ...…

You'd think after 124 shows we would know what we're doing, but even the best of us make mistakes. Luckily we still know what we are talking about. We kick off this week with a look back at an underwhelming Grey Cup game. Calgary finally broke through, but did the field conditions play a role in that? Is that acceptable for a championship game? ...…

It was billed as the best game of the year, and it didn't disappoint. Speaking of things that don't disappoint, it's another episode of Just A Bit Outside! But before we get to that game... The Canucks are at the quarter pole, and we reflect on the season so far. What have been the surprises? Have there been any disappointments? What will the t ...…

Here at Just A Bit Outside, we take many things seriously (except ourselves), and unless you're part of the hoity-toity crowd, you appreciate that level of sass. If you're looking for Canucks talk, you've found it. This week we break down the Canucks second major road trip of the season, and if the results are expected or not. Are the Canucks a ...…

Something historically good is happening in Vancouver, and it's not just another episode of Just A Bit Outside. Petey-mania is sweeping the city, with the Canucks rookie drawing comparisons to some all-time greats. Is he a generational player, or is it just a buzz word? We look at what the Canucks have done so far this year, and what may be in ...…

There are many ways to educate yourself, and limitless topics, but in this case, we keep it to sports. We start off with a review of the not-as-stellar-as-hoped World Series, won by the team with the highest payroll in baseball. How come this battle didn't live up to expectations? The Whitecaps season is now officially over, and the dark cloud ...…

You know why we are the premier sports podcast? Because we are real, and this show is no different. The World Series is upon us, featuring a pair sure to make MLB happy with Boston and Los Angeles. We look at how these two teams matchup, and make our predictions - one of us has to be right... right? How about those BC Lions? Left for dead at th ...…

It was a heck of week around here with all the baseball and football and hockey, so we get right into it. The AL and NL championship series are underway, and both have been underwhelming yet delivered memorable moments. Is there an underdog in either of these? There was craziness in football, as the BC Lions won in Calgary (what?!) on the stren ...…

Is it three games in the baseball playoffs, or the first three games of the Canucks season? Maybe it's both! October means the boys of summer embrace the fall, and classic moments ensue. We discuss the MLB Divisional Series, and look ahead to the AL and NL Championships. Lots of football going on too, as the Seahawks hung tough with the Rams. D ...…

The title really says it all. Welcome to the Vancouver Canucks 2018-2019 season preview episode! All Canucks, all the time. We talk about the pre-season, players to watch, surprises, expectations, and predictions. Want to know more?By Geoff Stowe and Brendan Kobliuk.

Does anyone know if there are strip clubs in Salt Lake City? Asking for a friend... It was a busy week in sports, and we start with Tiger Woods winning again. Is this a true resurgence of an all-time great, or just a classic story of redemption? What is it about Tiger that makes golf more exciting? Football is in full swing, and the Browns won. ...…

Are we the real deal? Damn straight. Is Elias Pettersson the real deal? Maybe, but ask yourself this first: Since 1988, without looking, can you name the players the Canucks have drafted that provided top line offensive production in Vancouver? (hint - there's only 6, and Brock Boeser doesn't count yet) We look at the start of the Canucks pre-s ...…

It might not be sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, but close enough. We start with the elephant in the room by wading into the debate surrounding Serena Williams - is this an issue of sexism and racism, or simply a player penalized for breaking the rules? Everyone else chimed in, so what are your thoughts? Week 1 of the NFL kicked off, and we review ...…

Is sports a cruel mistress, or are we just being poetic and dramatic? September starts with a review of Geoff's weekend experience with the Indycar Portland Grand Prix, including whether or not he made the race broadcast. We talk a little bit of Whitecaps, a little bit of Mariners, and a little bit of US Open tennis. The main event is the start ...…

Psych or psyche? Segue or hook? Robert Drummond or Glenroy Gilbert? We answer the tough questions this week by making fun of ourselves. Geoff finally caves from his positive views on the BC Lions and rips them a new one. What drove him over the edge? Brendan reviews the Seahawks preseason after they lost their third game. Does he think they can ...…

Can Brendan go an entire episode without mentioning a certain team? Sort of, as long as you don't count him alluding to it every way he can. This week we kick off with another befuddling performance by the BC Lions, who found another way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. What version of the team will show up this week against the Rider ...…

Someone is feeling a little smug after being on the winning side of his online poll, and since this is a democracy, we will give the people what they want. Before that though, we talk about current sporting events, such as the BC Lions big win. Can they carry this momentum and win on the road for the first time this season? How about the Whitec ...…

Brendan wants a dingle. What is a dingle? Anybody? We start the show with Brendan regaling us with stories from his adventures in Seattle, including the stadium experience, and even a little bit about the games. Naturally we talk about the Mariners current slide - is this the turning point of the season where playoffs slip away? Speaking of tea ...…

You might think that we're fanboys, and you'd be right, but this show isn't about us (at least not entirely). We start the show with baseball, as the MLB trade deadline has come, with the Blue Jays selling off and the Mariners bolstering their bullpen. No surprise from Toronto, but Seattle has some tough questions to answer, and soon. We also s ...…

Geoff returns from his CFL road trip, sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Ontario experience. We even talk a little football as well, as the Lions dropped their game, but there were some positive signs. Oddly enough, we talk a little Canucks in July, with a certain defenceman re-signing and if it will be worthwhile. Plus we recap the ...…

Is it France's World Cup win? The recent struggles of the Mariners? The effect of Travis Lulay on the BC Lions? Perhaps all of the above? We enter the dog days of summer with a look at all these, plus the shocking lack of coverage and care about Wimbledon this year. We get into an important topic this show, as the death of Ray Emery and the sto ...…

If we wore gloves during the show, they'd be coming off for this one. Only one of us can be right 52% of the time, and we will fight for that right (figuratively of course). Before the main event though, we recap the troubling trends the BC Lions are showing after being shellacked in Winnipeg. Is Travis Lulay the answer, or does it go deeper? H ...…

If ever there was a fitting show title, this is it. Leave it to Geoff to throw down that gem of a line. We cover pretty much everything in this show, as every sport was showcased in some way this week. We got down to the quarterfinals in World Cup, with some shocking endings. The BC Lions laid an egg in Edmonton - was it a one off or a sign of ...…

We aren't just a sports show - we offer life advice, karaoke, and even movie reviews! We can be as surprising as this years World Cup, which has seen a number of upsets to this point, and remains really wide open. The Mariners hit a bump in the road out east - can they bounce back and maintain their playoff position? We also look forward to the ...…

The title pretty much says it all - it's the 2018 NHL Draft Show! We do this show during the draft and you get our immediate and unabashed reactions to the Canucks first round pick, plus the other wheelings and dealing around the league. Do you like what the Canucks did? How about the other teams? It's Christmas time for hockey fans!…

It's just a little audio issue - it's still good, it's still good! Much like driving Hwy 101, this episode is an adventure, covering pretty much the entire world of sports. It's early in World Cup, but there have been some surprising moments. We recap the events thus far before switching gears to football of the CFL kind. The Lions kicked off t ...…

We begin the centennial episode of the Premier Vancouver Sports Podcast with something brand new. Get set to be blown away, or be totally underwhelmed. We aren’t mind readers. It’s been two weeks since episode 99 so there’s a lot to look back at and look forward to. It has been an amazing first 100 shows and we want to thank you, the listeners. ...…

It's the penultimate episode before we hit the century mark, and we prove our worth with confirmation of an epic prediction that only a premier podcast could make. We talk some basketball, we give the Whitecaps some credit, and we look at the outstanding run the Mariners are on. Can they keep it up and break their playoff drought? The French Op ...…

We all like food, but thinking? That's a whole other story. So many topics to discuss this week, it's hard to know where to start. We begin with the Whitecaps salvaging a draw in Dallas before moving onto baseball and the admirable job the Mariners are doing so far this year. Can they keep it up? CFL training camps have also kicked off, so we t ...…

You may not be the boss, but sometimes people need a boss to tell them what to do (or not do). Take Robinson Cano, who needs to be told steroids are not to be used, or Brek Shea, who needs to be told how to kick a ball. We discuss both, as the Mariners and Whitecaps are both facing some serious challenges coming up due to personnel issues. We a ...…

Can you put lipstick on a pig? Sure, but it's still a pig. The old saying has so many applications this week, as we discuss many teams in need of more than false facelift. The Whitecaps, the Blue Jay, the Raptors, the list goes on. These three in particular had a very bad week, and an in depth look shows the problems go beyond a simple change. ...…

What is awesome sauce? Some people might say ketchup, others may say something with some garlic, or maybe it's another episode of Just A Bit Outside! We kick off this show with a review of the Whitecaps current situation, as some fans are starting to get restless. Will a home win fix what ails them, or is something more drastic needed like a cu ...…
